Inside the Locker Room: Fines | Dentro de los vestidores: Multas

Today, we’re going to talk about fines because I got fined the other day, wait, I think I got fined… don’t tell anyone!

We have a fine system in our locker room where if you show up late, you’ll get fined. We have to be in the locker room by nine in the morning. If you show up past nine and you’re not in the locker room, you get fined. It’s a $50 fine if you’re late, and it’s a $5 fine for every minute that you’re late after that. Yeah, it’s a little aggressive. If you’re late a second time, it’s a $100 fine.

If you have a cell phone in the locker room and it rings, you get fined. We have a fine police – that would be Dan Kennedy. He’s like the policeman. You know when you’re driving and the police are behind you, you’re not trying to do anything crazy.

There are a lot of people who got fined today. I could be a rat and tell you, but all I gotta say is they pay. When you pay, the money goes to a team pot. On our days off, we’ll take the money and go to a restaurant, we’ll split it between the team. Obviously, I want people to get fined a lot. The bigger the pot, the better this whole dinner thing is. We can go to Chick-Fil-A, or maybe go up to the Cheesecake Factory.

When I’m late, first of all, I panic because I don’t want to get caught, so I have to set up a strategy. I usually park my car really close to the door, car still on, run down to the locker room, show your face, and say “Oh! I forgot something in the car!.” Then go park it. That’s one route and that’s if you’re really late.

I’m not telling you all my secrets, because I don’t want them to catch me. But secondly, come in, take your shirt off, go into the kitchen, and act like you’ve been there before. Pretend you were in the gym. “Me, late? No, I’ve been here the whole time.”
